11:33 am
i'll just say that about half an hour after the stream. goodbye the u. k. trying to move on from the pandemic chorus johnson will settle plans to pay for the damage done to the economy. book with post correctly woes and authorization to plan benefit. can the government offer reassurances of better times ahead glide coverage of the conservative quality company? just choose i me okay on this week's bonus edition of the stream. the bonus is a special guest host. hello, melissa flooding from the united nations. it is so good to see you now as well as being my guest host. you do have a day job, we tell everybody what that is and what you do. great to be with you and co moderating with your family. yes, i'm head of communications for the united nations, which means i try to get the news out to the entire world. and language is people
11:34 am
understand and format that people are accessing for their information. and yeah, and to get people to sign up to, to the values that we are trying to promote. whenever you appeal on the screen, you always come with an issue, a passion that is very important, that you won't the well to know about. today's no exception. what she would be focusing on what you want to tell us. oh, well, you know, we're still a year and a half into the cobra, 1900 pandemic. and we know that the way out is that everybody in the world has access to the vaccines. but we're not there. so i'd really like to talk about vaccine equity. i'm going to show a tweet that you shared, and this was a few months ago. well, you can already say that you see that you're trying to get that message out. tell us more about vaccine inequity. did you say that was from a few months ago? yeah, maybe it was. i'm going to, i'm going to ski out here. we can, we can actually have a look the way you see maybe 81 percent have been given in
11:35 am
high income con countries a few months later it's still really high and just 10 countries. it's like 733 percent of vaccines have been given in just 10 countries. that means the rest of the world is really desperate for vaccines when you take the content continent of africa, for example, only 3 percent of vaccines have been received by africans. and, you know, i'm here in the united states and all the talk is about 3rd doses. and a friend came up to me recently and says, when are you going to get your 3rd dose? you know, you wouldn't be shot, you would be able to. and yet, you know, and it's like and someone from w h o said recently, it's like as if he were wearing a life jacket and the life jacket was just a little bit frayed. but there were all kinds of people around you who are drowning . and then somebody were to give you another life and the others would continue to
11:36 am
drive. so we need to give those life jackets to the people who need the most. and we have a goal to, to vaccinate. 40 percent of the world by the end of the year and it can be done. it's just we need those who pledge to share the doses to actually give them. and we need to double manufacturing. and we need much more funding to spend some hopeful messaging coming out of the general assembly on that. but it's, it, we have a long way to go and people are still dying. 4.5000000 people have died from covert 19 around the world. and it's just unacceptable when we have a way to stop these deaths, not to be doing everything that we can. all right, melissa, we are going to get this show start a thank you for bringing that issue vaccine inequity to us. we have talks about it on the stream, but today we have a very special program, which is why you are co hosting with me. because the string teamed up with the un for a few days to talk about pricing,
11:37 am
global issues. you're going to see us some of the conversations that we had after the show was melissa would say, behind closed doors. now of course we had to discuss climate change, but i gave gas my phone ac sawyer, hindu amorro emperor, him and andrew hall, a challenge. what is the best example of climate change adaptation on medication? you've ever see free town, the tree town. i absolutely love our campaign. and our project to pants or 1000000 trees over what started as to rainy seasons, but will now be 3. but what so exciting about it is because it's a major b solution. it's owned by communities. we are, we are restoring biodiversity. we are creating, contributing to the carbon think we are preventing land live in communities. we are restoring mangroves and all of this was creating hundreds of jobs. i'm really
11:38 am
building a sense of community ownership. i'm together as we work on transforming our city. oh, didn't even hesitate if i need to make that, we have to try get our equality where the combined distribution of money to restart a bios, compare these data and match path where the piano key in indian p and data doing as a country for the cost down and doing, he's having a car to play the can be nation. been you and have a direct impact to the bottom line is the best example of how we can build lima and the techie. now what is the special adviser on climate actually the new and see all the un refugee agency really, and i'm fear about litigation adapt patient is going to come up with andrew. it's
11:39 am
difficult to follow those to. it's always difficult as to what, what we have to be doing is not only will can't mitigating access to energy. we actually have to be changing it to empowering people. if you look at how many people been displaced around the world, and like it's 900000000 people who had displaced it's days just looking at cutting of power, we have to provide more power. and the only way which we can do that is wait frog. use of fossil fuels, they don't have energy at the moment. we have to provide with energy because that's a cornerstone of empowerment or dignity or providing access to livelihoods. so providing renewable energy to normally the 90000000 people who have been displaced around the world. but to the hundreds of millions of people who are also in very fragile energy, efficient areas is not any the right thing to do. it's amazing opportunity for the private sector development act is to establish markets. because if you give people
11:40 am
hope, you empower people, they will deal with risk himself. but we, we, if it's no use this always coming up with the top down approach. but the be from new york or from geneva from capital. you have to listen to the people, see what they want people to do not want to move. and this is where what hindu and mary von was saying was so important, we need to support adaptation. we need support preparedness, and we need to empower people. it's going to be a win win situation, both the people and city environment it was really great actually, that's my former colleague and friend, andrew harper, to hear him and these amazing to women. i think it really what they're, they're all. so i love this concept and they're all 3 saying that same concept of empowering people locally. and people do not want to move. and climate change is
11:41 am
threatening many more people than those 90000000 who are already displaced, to have to move in to be forced to move. but there are local solutions and i loved the planting trees. and then also the, the what, what andrew mentioned about providing energy. so it's not just all preventing and mitigating climate situations, but it's also provide empowering people to, to with jobs and livelihoods, and energy that is renewable to transform their community. so it's a really great ideas here, and it's if you look all over the world, it's incredible the creativity that people have and how that how they can get ready for climate change. how could they can adapt to climate change? they just need the resources. well, i was thinking what became very obvious that conversation was political will, is how important it will get so many things done in terms of global emergencies and
11:42 am
global solutions. so how do you persuade governments and policy makers to take meaningful climate action? i asked 3 climate advises how they would convey the urgency of the climate crisis to governments. so in charles hot, got the conversation started in 2019. i was under a bunch different capacity, but i had, well, i visited the bahamas after her recon dorian, 2900. and what i saw on that island, it seemed as though after a devastation, hurricane. a look to still a ball had dropped on the island and quite frankly, if this is the future of humanity, we all better recall and be bold and tackling the climate crisis. i saw towns washed away people's entire lives and their life. and just on the, in
11:43 am
a flash with, with, with scores of people still missing weeks after this disaster. and we're seeing this all over the world need to do everything we can to stop this crisis and my simple message. it doesn't look good. we're off track, please don't lose hope. we cannot lose hope. we know what to do, and we have the tools to do cow your story. i'm gonna to, i'm going to tell a personal story actually, and it doesn't cast me in a very good like i've been working on climate for over 20 years. been involved with the intergovernmental panel on climate change. i was a former climate negotiator in the car process. and 3 years ago the ip cc put out a report on what on 1.5 degrees of warming. what would we need to do to keep warming to that level?
11:44 am
what would be the impacts if we were able to hold the temperature there? and, you know, i've been working on climate for ever. and it was that report that just woke me up . it was like all of a sudden these temperature targets are not some time in the long future. this is now and i, it just made me completely look at the way i live my life. i drive my car, i fly airplanes. and it's embarrassing to say it took, it took that, but it really was a report that should act. we have to act now and it woke me up. and now you woke. that's true. me work, misery, rapids out with your story. i want to think from what god just mentioned. it's not really the future. it's now not here that had a poor lot since the 100 here. so i think like
11:45 am
a century off lot. but never that devastating. i visited many areas. that was a factor like let me change and bye bye bye. so and all of the stories i was hearing was so coming like deeply into my heart. not only because we did not cause this because we didn't go this. but because the simple farmer didn't, he didn't know what he thinks by or what is coming to them. and now i've been receiving a phone call every every few seconds, asking me, should we like, do the farming processes, should we start the firing process? we have well, again this year because for people who doesn't know what happened, it doesn't want to destroy the existing or so forbidding you are to farmer from doing other agricultural reporters because they need to wait and do what the right
11:46 am
. unfortunately, both of our apartments are very much depending on my call, like my other dry cross, but like drive for example, that needs a lot of water. so on making these one grow communities very rural area and very vulnerable sector, which is for example, ready to climate change ready with early warning system. we're building the communities with stopping global warming at this moment. i really was planning to see if the well, you know, it's interesting to hear these, these climate experts actually giving these examples where they themselves even felt that they needed this to wake up to realize that climate change is happening now. and i was struck by what cell one said, you know,
11:47 am
this is the future of humanity. we all better wake up. but he also said, and i know and also co mentioned, we need to act now because it's not some theoretical thing that's going to happen in the future. it is actually happening before our eyes and i think so many of us were struck by our own examples. i mean, i was in the west coast this summer and it, it was a 115 degrees. i've just never felt that heat. the drought was just terrible, the lake meet was drying up. a few weeks later i was in greece. and people were telling me that they no longer had spring and that their gardens were not growing. and a few weeks later, you know, it was a blaze and wildfire. so i think i'd just like to reinforce though, what, what all of the panelists said, and that is, we know we know the science. we're seeing it happening before our eyes, but we can't lose hope and i think that was cell one's appeal. i work with him. so i know there are
11:48 am
a lot of very distress people. there been studies recently that children are feeling terrible. anxiety about climate change right now in their future. we do have the tools and there is a way out, let's of we all need to community you, you, i'm again there. you and the advisors was, were saying that this is very possible and i just want you to give me a yes or no on a scale of 0 to 10. the urgency at the un headquarters right now is what 0 to $10.00. 10 is incredibly urgent. where is it? tad ike? good town. it has to be a tad. we are. we are in the the high commissioner has, sorry that the secretary general of us has called it a red alert for humanity anti car. many times i've heard that. yeah. yeah. for humanity, and it's been quoted over and over and over again. really. so i'm going to, i'm gonna move on that the climate crises is never far away. but i'm going to take
11:49 am
us now to italy, the homeless chef massimo, a book tura, he is a you and environment program, goodwill ambassador, who is on a mission to tackle global food waste, his maximo explaining how his work caught the attention of the us. i start this project on universal exposition and that after that we start that we move to the olympics, that the, the year out there in rio de janeiro. and these projects they got so successful that we start opening all the record audio, as we call these amazing soup kitchen. and that the united nation started watching us. because that our project is much more than just the feed that people need. but it's about to, you know, that rescue their food ways that otherwise would be because of climate change.
11:50 am
and, and that, or like hell but you know, people to, to, to have another opportunity in life. so if that and the same, you know, all the electricity that human capital, there was her that takes to produce, live and say, so imagine how many goals we are embracing, you know, with this project. so that's why the united nation, they were so interesting what i was doing and you know, like that we became, we became and we arrived where we are and we keep working. we keep opening. and now we are ready. and new york in san francisco, we are open 2 days to go see me and we have that. we also at geneva before the end of the year. so i'm just wondering,
11:51 am
i'm just looking at this picture for you here on my laptop. i am wondering if the united nations have what they dealing with shifts all nation jury carries my take a little bit complicated. they have egos, all of this, you are throwing up united nations environment program. how was i handling that? you know, i wrote a book that is called never trust. this guinea dies in chef. you know why i gave that little because the chef are taking themselves too seriously. we have to have a little bit of irony. we have to have a little bit of playing job on and be open any ronnie, 2 hours that but the end we are cook and that, and that's what it is, you know. and so, you know,
11:52 am
when i say when, when i have to say and express what i'm doing every day, i say, you know, guys what i'm doing every day, just gonna, i compress into edible bye. and my passion music are, you know, the fact guard but also ceiling. go to the story because mike was being deeply valeo, but feel there by a contemporary mine that's very important because being the star jake, you don't evolve. but being critic. you can take the back from the back into the future, and that's our, you know, our goal as an italian shap. i cannot leave all our, the story on the side. what, what a, what an amazing ambassador to fight against food waste. because his project is
11:53 am
actually to take the food waste of these gore many restaurants and turn that waste into its not even waste a very edible leftovers into 3 course meal for people who couldn't afford it. and who are vulnerable and who are hungry. and just to say that, you know, we are increasingly finding personalities, celebrities in all kinds of sectors. to help us spread, spread our messages, whether it's peace and security, we have messengers of peace or whether it's in medicine you. 8 may i just use the centers of music made to help us reach more people than we could ever dream of me when i know the exam, what you're about to read it brings me when you and i see melissa, we try really hard not to use acronyms but i'm going to use one now b t s. i am going to show you interviewing bts just

11:55 am
a b t s always saying to you just very briefly because we're almost at the end of the show. yeah. you know, what was really wonderful was to see the reaction of the fans which are called the b t. s. army, which was really just so full of positivity. and what i loved about it too was that they took time so many of them hunters of bout about them took time to comment and not just to say, oh thank you for bringing bts to the un, which they did. but also, i'm going to be the change that they're suggesting. i'm going to do things differently. i'm going to to, to learn more about the sustainable development goals. and so this was really wonderful way to see, i don't think we've ever seen this kind of engagement and positivity among become ordinary people around. we've talked about bts without playing them. so i'm going to say thank you so much for being my guest co. how, how would you like to take
